Steampunk

I've become fascinated with Steampunk. It has elements that I've always been drawn to, but I never realized it was a "genre." Can I go shopping at Walmart wearing a bowler hat and a pair of goggles? Hmmm....sure, why not?

I'd also get some old watch gears and make some jewelry out of it and I'd have to have some goggles, but maybe I would just wear them on the hat and not on my face. I like these goggles from this Etsy seller, BoilerGoth:

I'm also going to make a raygun...an absolute necessity for every Steampunk outfit!
